It’s come to this… the GOAT

I’ve been fortunate to experience so many watches over the years (small sample shot below) both from this brand and others.

I can easily say the 226570 Polar is by far my favorite watch I’ve ever owned to date. Ok, yes, I just got it today but I’ve had enough to know that this is one that will never leave. And that can’t be said for any other watch in that photo below because they have all come and gone.

It’s the perfect watch (for me).

Congrats on your new polar. I finally got one in November after 2.5yrs wait. Worth it. Can't say enough good things about it. Yours looks amazing on wrist and it sounds like you have already bonded. Enjoy!

You must love it, bold statement considering some of the beauties you have/had, such as the VCO and Pepsi.
